Throughout this week as a school we have been raising money for Sports Relief and Peterborough Soup Kitchen, through non-uniform days, sports challenges during tutor time and Staff vs Students matches.
This morning, Year 7 students experimented with creating their own flavour biscuits – the more weird and wonderful the better! Their efforts and final products were commendable and well received by taste testers in the faculty. Well done Year 7.

Dear all
I wish to make it very clear to staff, students and parents/carers, there is no place for masks to be worn inside and during the school day. Whilst I cannot control what students may choose to do out of the school hours, they will not be allowed to bring and wear masks inside school for the following reasons:
- The threat of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is currently not reported in our community of Peterborough.
- Masks hide facial features, inhibiting day-to-day communication with a wide range of people and will cause significant problems.
- They actually heighten the threat of infection without any substance of helping and rationalising the situation.
- Face masks play a very important role in places like hospitals, but there is very little evidence of widespread benefit for members of the public.
Until the Government alter their guidance, I wish to re-iterate that face masks are not allowed in to Ken Stimpson Community School. The school will continue to operate as normal and apply risk assessments to enable the risk to continue to be low.
The school will not authorise an absence because you are concerned about the COVID-19 Coronavirus. However, following the guidance below, if a family member is presenting any of the symptoms displayed, you should seek medical advice (111 NHS Coronavirus helpline) and then contact the school to discuss the matter before absenting your child from school.
Finally, I wish to draw to your attention three helpful information sources:

Year 8B3 have been given the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of an extra topic within Science. ‘Earth and Space’ has been turned into a discovery project to help enrich the students learning and interests within the subject of Science. Through this topic year 8s will be learning about the solar system, order of the planets, orbits, the Earth, Moon, the Sun, and much more.
This week and within the pictures, students are building models of the order of planets from the Sun to Pluto. Also, during the week they will be using recyclable materials to build both rockets and space shuttles. So far the attitude, attention, interest and willingness to learn has been fantastic, with students able to express and explore their space interests further.
